Jefferies back on top at EWS Rd2

The second round of the Essex Winter Series took place this weekend with another packed out entry featuring all of the top on-road drivers in the UK across the four racing classes. The top-billed Scorpion Modified class saw Olly Jefferies repeat the pole position he had secured at opening event of the season in October, as the Xray driver topped three of the four qualifying rounds. It was only a car failure that prevented a clean sweep as a damaged spur gear in Q2 saw Olly out of the round, allowing Yokomo’s Harley Eldridge to take a win which would ultimately secure her second on the A Final grid. Kyle Branson looked to be the third driver in the mix, the now Tonisport-backed driver took second in every round, to set himself third on the grid. Behind, it was the Capricorn of Alex Thurston who slotted into fourth overall, in front of multi-time UK National Champion Chris Grainger (Awesomatix).
